Thank you Fatima for your help early on in my pregnancy!!
When the nausea hit around week 6/7 I decided to give acupuncture a go. I hadn't been to see a acupuncturist before, as I'm a little nervous about needles, but Fatima made me feel very relaxed and talked me through each session also working with the breath. We also did some relaxing meditations to finish. The sessions with Fatima helped ease the nausea but also generally made me feel more relaxed and comfortable about pregnancy which I found really helpful, especially for balancing getting used to being pregnant with having a full time job.
Although I had originally focussed on treating the nausea, I also had a tight shoulder that had been bothering me for c. 1 year. Fatima gently worked on relieving that over a couple of sessions. I found the acupuncture gave me more lasting relief than the regular massages I had been having.
Will definitely be back to see you again in the future! read more
